I'm pretty sure he still gets a free ("private") dwelling while the rest of us deal with the awful housing market.

"Andrew will move to the royal estate in Sandringham, Norfolk" - BBC
how nice for him
I mean even if England dissolved the monarchy all those properties are owned by their family, not the country I thought. So you can take all his title and responsibilities if he has/had any, and he would have to go into the hard living of a billionaire. With no one in his family ever having to think about working for the rest of time. We live in different worlds.
Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, Kensington Palace, Holyrood, Hillsborough Castle and St James’ Palace are the official residences, owned by the Crown.
Sandringham, Balmoral are privately owned by the King, Gatcombe Park privately by The Princess Royal, and Highgrove by the Duchy of Cornwall.
So your saying they would walk away with a few billion instead of like 80 billion and would never have a family member need to think about working again. They "play" normal person for fun. Like if they sell it all off and move away they can each buy a few $2 million houses, have maids, gardeners, nutritionists, cooks, and vacation anywhere they want all the time and go from having $2-3 billion to having $4-5 billion in around 7 years without any effort. It's just to much money to spend, and it constantly will be making more money than is needed
Someone hasn’t studied history.
Well take their wealth. They got their labours worth of resources and spent them.
It sounds like the king (his brother) is stripping him of his titles and kicking him out of the royal residence. But his brother (as non-king) is letting him stay on a property on an estate he owns as a private citizen, and paying him a kind of allowance out of his own "private" money.
Andrew is expected to move to a property on the king’s Sandringham estate near the northeast coast and receive private financial support from his brother.
I wonder if he (Andrew) actually owns anything in his own name. The funding for the royals is complex. The "working royals" get about $100m per year as a percentage of revenues from the Crown Estate as a kind of salary / per-diem to do their "jobs". The Crown Estate had about £16.5b in assets, so the amount they're paid is only a tiny fraction of its value. The king also gets money from the Duchy of Lancaster which includes land in Lancashire and Yorkshire as well as properties in London. Whoever's the Duke of Cornwall gets paid from the Duchy of Cornwall which is land in South-West England. Some things you'd think would be owned by the country are actually privately owned by the monarch, like many of the palaces. They also own estates like Sandringham and Balmoral.
So, the monarch owns a lot of stuff privately, which is passed down to the next monarch. The current Duke of Cornwall (often the crown prince) has a billion pound private estate, which then gets passed to the next Duke when the current duke dies or becomes the monarch.
But, I wonder what the rest of them own. It sounds like the monarch is a multi-billionaire, the Duke of Cornwall is just barely a billionaire, and the rest of the royals get paid huge amounts in a sort-of "salary" if they're willing to do royal-type work (cut ribbons, make speeches, etc.) but they don't actually own much of anything.
His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who had been living with him in the 30-room mansion, will have to find a new home.
That's interesting. I wonder what that situation was like, and what she'll do.
Cute meme. Why isn’t he under arrest?
Fourteen million reasons why not but they all add up to his mom being rich and powerful.
She gone. Lock him up
Giuffre agreed to a multi-million pound out-of-court settlement in 2022.
The poor sod, he only has his wealth and privilege to fall back on.
The "King" is removing him from everything but his last name but that same guy as his "Brother" is providing him with housing on a private lodge.
So its good but its not what is being presented
The issue with kicking someone out of the royal house completely is that they are highly incentivized to trade their fame for money. This can include sponsorships and tell all books.
By providing some economic support, it keeps a leash on Andrew formerly known as Prince.
Without due respect all loyals should be stripped of their titles to abolish monarchy once and for all
That memo from the Palace was, I believe, as close as we are ever going to get to the Royal Family saying "You did that shit, we know you did that shit, now gtfo."
"The poors found out, we told you to keep it quiet"
Get him a one bedroom flat in Luton
Andrew is still a prince; he's the Prince of the Nonces.
The artist formally known as Prince Andrew?
What art did he do?
Actually, don't answer that, I don't want to know.
